DataWedge Configuration

• Profile0 - use this generic profile when there are no user created profiles associated with an application.

• Launcher - enables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground. Note: to save battery power, disable

this profile when not required.

• DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.

Some Zebra applications are capable of capturing data by scanning. DataWedge is pre-loaded with private and

hidden profiles for this purpose. There is no option to modify these private profiles.

Profile0

Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation of

plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration allows

DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application other than applications associated with user-defined

profiles when Profile0 is enabled.

Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated

in user-defined profiles. For example, create a profile associating a specific application, disable Profile0 and then

scan. DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created profile. This adds additional

security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.

Plug-ins

A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies such as

bar code scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:

• Input Plug-ins

• Output Plug-ins

• Process Plug-ins.

Input Plug-ins

An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a bar code scanner contained in, or attached to the device.

DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.

• Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in – The Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data

from the integrated bar code scanner and supports different types of bar code readers including laser,

imager and internal camera. Raw data read from the bar code scanner can be processed or formatted

using Process Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the bar code

scanner to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.

Process Plug-ins

Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, before

sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.

• Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add

a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to an Output Plug-in.

• Advanced Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Advanced Data Formatting Plug-in allows

DataWedge to apply rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an

input plug-in before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
